[Episode 17]
Hey, what do you think you're doing?
Are you crazy?
No, this can't be.
Your father...
Where is your father, Man Geum?
Why would I trust you?
Dig up the grave and open the coffin and you will know.
Inside...
you will find the truth.
You were the last person to see him that day!
Why are you suddenly looking for Man Geum?
Don't change the subject and tell me what you did with his body.
I told you to stop! Stop!
Get him!
Get his body.
I got his body from the water and took him to Scholar Baek Myun.
Bury him in a nice, sunny spot.
Yes, my lord.
I will be going, then.
Is that all?
What else would there be?
[Doctor]
We were certain that Man Geum had died back then.
But, now you're saying he survived?
I am certain that this was all Yi In Jwa's doing.
Wait.
Ah, I remember it now.
There was a patient with a wound from an arrow.
And what happened to him?
He miraculously survived.
Then, does that mean Man Geum is alive?
Is that even possible?
What happened to him after that?
It was after a few days.
He had been unconscious.
So, I'm certain that someone took him.
It was Yi In Jwa.
And you are positive that the patient was alive?
Alive? Of course he was.
Wait, Dae... Dae...
I refuse to see the son of a lowly water maid sit on the throne.
I cannot bear to see this palace dirtied by lowly people like that.
Your Highness.
His Majesty, the king is looking for you.
Do you know why I did not kill Yi In Jwa immediately?
And gave him two days?
Was it not to lure the rebel Jeong?
However, I have changed my mind.
He will not be caught.
Jeong will not be caught by the king's tricks.
It is only natural for someone who has gone through a lot to be this way.
He is probably testing me at this moment.
Don't even bring up Scholar Baek Myun, that cursed man.
I suffered so much because of him. I still wake up at night...
He's looking into me right now.
Am I a card he should hold or throw away?
Since he is not making a move...
He sees me as a card to throw out or...
He has no certainty.
He has a thousand serpents inside of him.
That is how he has run from me for so long.
And managed to stay alive.
What will you do about it now?
Rather than chase two rabbits and lose them.
I will catch the one that is in front of me.
Isn't this the army mobilization badge?
All of the five branches of the army.
I will put them all in your hands.
The blades of the rebels have come all at once.
They must be punished for it.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Highness.
[Lee Gun Myung, Yi Yi Myung, Kim Chang Jib]
Is that not the army mobilization badge?
Alive? Of course he was.
Your answer is very important.
Who is there?
All the merchants, the gambling room owner
and even Dam Seo
have turned their backs on Yi In Jwa.
I asked you who you were.
But, a long life is more important than a hundred soldiers.
I would like to hear your thoughts.
Would you ever join hands with Yi In Jwa?
Jeong will go to Baek Dae Gil for his answer.
He will make his move depending on that answer.
On whether he saves me or not.
These Soron faction members aren't showing themselves around here at all.
Ministers sure are something.
They are likely very desperate, as well.
Once I am killed, they will be next.
Crown Prince.
You should consider the positives and negatives of this action.
I am merely meeting my tutor, so how can anyone oppose this?
Crown Prince, meeting Yi In Jwa, who has been arrested for treason, is dangerous.
Instead, you must persuade the king to hold a trial.
Then get Yi In Jwa declared innocent of the charges.
If he is killed for treason...
it will be politically harmful to you, who had him by your side.
Why have you gone back on your word?
Did we not agree to cast Yi In Jwa aside and wield a different sword?
This is a matter for our entire Soron faction!
We cannot follow only your advice!
What does this look like to you?
It looks like military power that can be used to catch rebels.
No.
Before that, this is news that will travel like wildfire.
What do you mean by that?
Yes.
There is nothing faster than gossip and rumors.
Until they show action, we need to keep it quiet in the palace.
Until the rat in the palace shows its claws...
let us wait.
Please let me in. I only need a moment.
No one may enter at this hour.
He is charged of a serious crime, at that.
Go on now!
Are you here to see Yi In Jwa?
Your father is alive?
His father, Baek Man Geum, is alive?
Follow me.
Explain it to me so that I can understand.
He was with me when you came to me.
When you came to me to find out why I killed Baek Man Geum.
Baek Man Geum was in that place.
My dad was there?
Where is he now?
If he is not dead, why hasn't he shown up?
Baek Man Geum wants you to become a king, as well.
At first, he couldn't accept it.
Are you awake?
Yi In Jwa.
I feel a little bad seeing you lying there like that.
Look here, Baek Man Geum.
What do you say?
Why not pretend you're dead and make a deal with me?
I'm going to make Baek Dae Gil into a king.
Once he understood my great plan, he agreed with me.
He understood my plans.
Don't tell me that nonsense.
My dad wouldn't throw me away and follow you.
My dad...
Baek Man Geum knew the entire truth.
He knew you were the son of Sukbin and the king.
He knew you were a descendant of royal blood.
Therefore, in order carry out the plan of making you into a king
he sacrificed his relationship of being your father.
Your time has come now.
It is time for you to draw your sword.
It's not for my sake, but for the people of Joseon.
It's for the citizens.
So, where is my dad right now?
Baek Man Geum is in a place where his life depends on one command from me.
Well, what will you do?
If you harm him at all, you will pay for it.
I will kill you myself before you make it to the executioner.
Then, get moving.
Only you can save me.
Do not forget.
Only I, Yi In Jwa, can find your father, Baek Man Geum.
Are you going to do it?
I'm asking you if you will save Yi In Jwa.
Yi In Jwa is tricking you.
If your father were alive, why wouldn't he show up at all?
It is only Yi In Jwa's word.
There is no evidence or proof.
- Sang Gil. - Yes, Your Highness.
What are you talking about?
Baek Man Geum is alive?
You didn't know?
That's not possible.
I saw his dead body with my own eyes.
No, he is definitely alive.
His grave was empty.
The look in Yi In Jwa's eyes did not seem as if he were lying.
So, Baek Man Geum, who we thought was dead, is actually alive?
Teacher, you even hid it from me?
I was suffering so much because of his death.
Tell me. Where could he be now?
Teacher is not possibly trying to use it to...
I can't lose my dad again.
Not because of Yi In Jwa and his dirty schemes.
Teacher has Hanyang in the palm of his hands.
You will never be able to find him this way.
No, I will find him.
Even if I have to turn Hanyang upside down.
There's only one piece of advice I can give you.
Don't ever stand by Teacher's side.
You should let it go now.
The guilt you feel over my father.
I'm going to let everything go too.
What a relief.
It really is a relief.
Your father is still alive.
What?
What, exactly, did Yi In Jwa say?
He must have offered a deal.
He said he will tell you where your father is if you save him.
Why are you all awake?
Hey, you look like you're about to die. How can we sleep?
Dae Gil, we're on your side.
No matter what you decide to do, we're on your side.
A lifesaving card...
Kim Chae Gun.
Use those great skills of yours for this country of Joseon.
And this card that I give you...
will save your life someday.
This lifesaving card was given to me by the king.
It could very well save Yi In Jwa's life, too.
You received the army mobilization badge.
Yes, Mother.
Are you worried about me?
Who knows what these beasts in the palace will do?
Do not be concerned, Mother.
Nothing will happen. Nothing.
Are you worried about my brother?
We will visit you together tomorrow.
Thank you, Yeoning.
What news do you have?
He visited a temple at Mount Inwang.
Was there anything else?
The Soron faction is discussing plans, as usual.
The gambling room owner will be held in detention until the death sentencing.
Then, everything is prepared.
Is it time to ride this out?
Crown Prince, are you there?
What brings you here so late?
I'm here to make a request of you.
A request?
The king has given me a royal command.
A royal command?
Isn't this the army mobilization badge?
The king has given me control over the five branches of the military.
He has ordered to make sure Yi In Jwa is punished by death.
That was his command.
Even if it requires the military.
There are those who conspired with Yi In Jwa.
There are those who know the rebel Jeong.
But, no one will be able to stop the execution of Yi In Jwa.
The word has already started to spread.
The hands and feet of the traitors have already been bound.
You are out of line!
Yi In Jwa did not receive a fair trial.
It was only Father's arbitrary decision.
Yi In Jwa is a rebel traitor.
Crown Prince.
Until Yi In Jwa is executed, you must not take even one step.
Offering a helping hand will be even worse.
Did you dare to threaten me just now?
I am putting my life on the line
and I am daring to give you honest words of advice, Crown Prince.
Crown Prince.
Tomorrow...
Yi In Jwa's evil deeds will be put to a stop.
Starting now and until the execution of Yi In Jwa
I, Yeoning, will be in control of the military.
Listen up.
Protect the Crown Prince with your lives.
- Do you understand? - Yes!
Block all four gates.
Do not allow anyone to enter.
The security of the Euigeumbu will be handled by the Hansung Regional Office.
I will not accept anyone breaking in or out.
This is from His Highness, for your sake.
Please go back inside.
I am asking you. Please do not get involved.
Do not make me arrest you myself.
What do you plan on doing with that sword?
What? Do you really plan on saving Yi In Jwa?
And if I were? Will you draw your sword?
I'll do what I must.
Are there little brothers who wield swords at their older brothers?
Are there older brothers who stand in the way of their little brother's plans?
Don't think useless thoughts.
What are you planning to do?
Are you planning to save Yi In Jwa or not?
You should have an answer by now.
Show your face if you want to hear my answer.
You're saying you met the rebel Jeong?
Are you here because you don't trust me?
A father you thought was dead is alive.
Who wouldn't be wavered by that?
My dad is not a weak person.
I'll save him no matter what.
Mother would like to see you.
Come to the palace early tomorrow morning.
It is just to say hello.
Well, then.
Dad, just stay alive.
Your Highness, you must lie down.
I will not die.
Yi In Jwa...
Not until that animal dies.
I cannot close my eyes before that happens.
Baek Dae Gil.
Is this truly what you have chosen?
I know it was difficult for you to come here.
This is my duty as a son, is it not?
Thank you.
Today is the day.
Yi In Jwa, his last day.
His execution will proceed in a couple of hours.
Yi In Jwa...
I want to see his death with my own eyes.
But, I will be watching over it from here.
I want the two of you to listen carefully to your mother.
Trust each other and help one another.
You are brothers, are you not?
That is a closer bond than anything in the world.
Do not worry.
Your mother will be watching over you.
Even after I die, I will be watching over you both.
We will get going then, Mother.
Your Highness.
You look very beautiful today.
Do I really?
Yes, Your Highness.
Get up. Everyone is waiting.
Is my life really ending here?
I, Yi In Jwa, who was to turn Joseon upside down and complete a grand plan.
Does my life end here?
Let him by.
Baek Dae Gil, I trust you.
Baek Dae Gil, it is still not too late.
It is not too late.
What is holding you back?
You can find out.
I am the only one who can save you.
Save me right now.
So, tell me. Where is my father?
There is only one path for you to choose.
Saving your father and saving me.
Baek Man Geum is in a place where his life depends on one command from me.
Well, what will you do?
Save me now so that you can save your father.
Lying until the day you die.
It is like you to do so.
What did you say?
You are finished now.
Why, you...
Dad.
Proceed with the execution!
Take a good look!
This is not the end.
I, Yi In Jwa, will not die.
Even if I have to become a ghost, I will change this nation, Joseon.
You will all see with your own eyes.
Stop!
What is it?
Your Highness...
Her Highness Sukbin has just...
Mother?
Her Highness, Sukbin has passed away.
How could this happen?
Your Highness?
Execute him immediately!
Right now!
Stop!
Her Highness, Sukbin has passed away.
Starting now and until the funeral is over
punishment of criminals is forbidden.
The execution cannot proceed.
You have seen it for yourself.
Yi In Jwa does not die so easily.
Yi In Jwa...
Mother, please forgive me.
Die, Yi In Jwa!
Your Highness.
- Everyone is watching. - Let go.
Let me go!
If it's not today, then tomorrow.
If not tomorrow, then someday.
Yi In Jwa will die by my hands.
Mother...
Your Highness!
Your Highness...
Your Highness!
M... Mother...
Mother.
Please get up.
Mother?
I am here, Mother.
Mother!
Mother?
Who are you?
I am Baek Dae Gil.
Are you all right?
Please forgive me.
Trust each other and help one another.
Mother, please wake up.
Mother, Mother!
I finally managed to meet you.
We never even shared a laugh with each other.
How could you go so soon?
Mother...
What do you mean I cannot be the principal mourner?
I am her son.
What are you talking about?
Your Highness, you are legally registered as the son of Queen Inhyeon.
Don't you think I know that?
It does not matter.
Right now!
Bring me my mourner's clothing.
I apologize, Your Highness.
We apologize, Your Highness.
Do you not hear me?
Right this instant, bring me my mourner's clothes!
Bring it here now!
Go well.
You suffered so much because you had a bad husband like me.
I'm very... very sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Crown Prince, I know punishment for criminals is forbidden during this time.
However, serious criminals should not be included.
You must not delay Yi In Jwa's execution any further.
Minister, Sukbin has just passed away.
How can we execute someone?
It is obviously not right.
Crown Prince, it is not right to delay it.
Yi In Jwa must not live even a moment--
This was a decision made by the Crown Prince Regent.
This is a decision about the execution of a criminal!
There is no reason for the Crown Prince to make a decision on it.
[Yeonryung]
As for the execution...
delay it until later.
Your Highness!
Your Highness.
As a son...
I will not...
disgrace my mother's death.
Why have you come here again?
Your teacher has managed to live.
I came back to see if your answer has changed.
My plans have not changed.
By my own hands...
I plan on killing my teacher.
Do not fool yourself.
Go and confirm for yourself.
Your true heart and that of your teacher's, as well.
Just for a moment. Be quick.
Dam Seo.
Yes, how have you been?
You look very unwell.
I feel ashamed.
So, are you here to save me or to kill me?
I will get you out of here.
I will take your life after that.
That is the last thing that I can give to you.
Leave.
Do you want to be grouped together with a criminal?
I don't need help, so leave.
Go and confirm for yourself.
Your true heart and that of your teacher's, as well.
I told you to leave.
If I have to sacrifice my life for Joseon
I will do it.
But, if I must raise up a new nation in order to reform this rotten Joseon
that is the plan that I will see through.
Dam Seo, you should walk your own path.
I said get out of here!
He takes responsibility for the suffering of that child.
Baek Dae Gil and...
Yeoning.
He will have to take responsibility for them, as well.
Did you ask to see me?
What are you thinking?
What is the reason for delaying Yi In Jwa's execution?
Her Highness, Sukbin has just...
Enough with the useless nonsense!
Tell me honestly...
why you are protecting him.
That's my question.
Please save him.
What did you say?
Yi In Jwa. Please save him.
Do you even realize what his true intentions are?
Father, you are mistaken.
Mistaken...
The day Mother was exiled...
The day you kicked Mother out...
Yi In Jwa held out his hand to me.
I picked a Baduk stone.
He told me that he would save me from the pit if I chose a white stone.
There were no black stones in there!
Do you really not know that he was tricking you from the very beginning?
I did know!
I knew.
Still, I wanted to depend on him.
He was the only person who reached out to me that day.
I wanted to rely and depend on him.
Shut your mouth!
How could you fall for his evil deeds?
Now, you cannot get yourself out.
He has advocated for me and protected me.
He has given me strength.
He has promised to get me to the throne!
Do you really want to die?
That animal has you in the palm of his hand!
And you still call yourself... Crown Prince of this nation...
You consider yourself my successor?
I will cut Yi In Jwa's throat right now...
Father...
Father!

[Daebak]
The king used the horse medallion?
Yi In Jwa is declared innocent, as well as his subjects.
I thought you were dead. I looked everywhere for you!
- A soldier? - Yi In Jwa recommended you.
It is something that spreads faster than fire.
Joseon's best swordsman, Kim Chae Gun, will put his life on the line for it.
Come out.
Where did Dam Seo go?
To kill Yi In Jwa.
If you have something to say, it is best to speak now.
If you're going to kill Teacher, you'll have to kill me first.
No!
